Joking aside, the RH sculpts have always been VERY good. It's one of the reasons I tossed money at them in the first place. But Victoria's models are pretty damn good, too, and from the sounds of it, more in scale with 40k.
Granted, the TGG models fit my aesthetic a bit better, but if they're out of scale, as I said earlier, I'll get a few for display models (or heroes) and go with Victoria's for the actual game.

For me the models are worth dick if they don't fit in with 80% of the other ranges out there.

This remains a VERY real potential problem for RH here...

If the Kurganova sisters are the primary example of how tall the models are going to be, good luck mixing and matching.

Wasn't it stated that the heroines (which the sisters are) would be taller than the rank-and-file to help them stand out?
I could have been hallucinating, because that's dangerously close to making sense, but I'm fairly sure they actually stated this at some point.

This is my biggest worry. :( I hope they put up some comparison pictures in the pledge manager.

Personally, I'm fine with a more 30-32mm scale. I know that GW is typically what people compare stuff to, but ugh, it's such a poor comparison to make in terms of proportions. GW's models tend to be too short in the torsos and have impossible hip joints.
Just my opinion.

From the KS comments section:
The pledge manager is set up like a webstore. You make all your selections and then use your pledge as a store credit. All the figures have pictures, either the renders or concept art for figs not finalized yet. You have shopping cart functionality you'd expect on any webstore. I was invited to test it and was able to set up my pledge without much difficulty. Most of the issues we found were cosmetic. I can't say specifically when they will open it, as I don't know. But I can't imagine it will be much longer. It was pretty awesome seeing all the stuff we unlocked in one place. Reminder, I am not an employee of RH.
Aaaaaand let there be light at the end of the tunnel(?):
ok ive just filled in my pledge manager so im sure if you havnt gotten yours yet you will in the next few days its very easy the way its set up apart from only being able to add one item at a time

Did a quick mock-up of sizes based on 25mm bases, and the flattest head on shots RH has provided so far of their 3D prints.
Bit closer to 30mm scale than 28mm if you ask me.

I call BS on this. Whilst it may be someone who's been pulled in for the beta getting a little confused, I'd not expect RH to put out the pledge manager without a massive update before they send the emails to tell people exactly how to determine which figures they're worthy of owning from the project.

Mhhh... Will be fine for HQs and the like, but troops will be completely out of place next to each other. Unless they scale them down a little bit (the troops).

Well unless each troop squad is its own detachment. Squads will look accurate as their own squad and when moving around the board any difference wont be noticeable in comparison to other squads. Unless you're planning on mixing normal ig with TGG then it'll look weird. Honestly the TGG would make accurate female space marines since space marines are SUPPOSED to be taller than normal troops. however I feel that no one is going to use that option.

Well weren't they going to be in-scale with 40K minis right from the start until some people starting bitching about proportions and then they changed their mind?

Something like that, but I still remember their early prototypes that looked more or less in-line with GW stuff, so I was satisfied. Unless my memory is tricking me now. And I mean, aren't they just Cadians, Catachans and DKoK anyway?  Not sure what else would you use the troops for, not like anyone believes that this game of theirs is ever going to happen.

Not that I'm aware, though I'm sure you could force the issue if it came to it via Amazon or VISA. I'll just get my $150 worth of models which I expect will be very nice sometime in 2015 or 2016 when they ship. If I'd pledged a lot more, I'd probably be rather upset. My main concern is that they don't go under before delivering, since it seems that organisation and management of anything aren't exactly their strong points....

In all honesty, I can't see RH going under because of this. What's likely to happen is they'll get the first and maybe second waves out before they run out of cash. Then they'll start the next project to pull in more funds before they do wave 3.
Enticing new backers in by showing off the finished sculpts from TGG and saying that they've managed to ship 100% of 80% of wave based pledges.

Isn't 80% going to 30mm and above instead of producing more crippled heroic scale minis?

Just informally to someone here or one of your friends or whatever. Never done it, and I'm sure a good bit of trust is needed, but take their money, either now or on delivery, and pledge in your name (ks account) for whatever the new buyer wanted. Then deliver the minis to them. Easier if you know the person well and live nearby, of course.

Someone has been asking for a refund on the KS page, he's been solidly ignored so far.
As one of my friends said last night, it's easier to put gorgeous details on 32mm scale figures. Doing it on 28mm, that's another thing entirely.

We should all send them an email requesting access to the pledge manager, saying that we haven't received our invite.
Or they could have used the useful update feature of Kickstarter and stated they were doing it staged. We gotta teach'em, somehow.

Invites to the Pledge Manager are going out in waves, and will proceed over the next 72hrs or so.
Andrew Hayford (Raging Herald) 19 minutes ago
They compiled some very specific instructions. The freebies have to be added individually to your cart, and they wanted to make sure people understood how the shipping situation. They also wanted to make sure people understood how their pledge credit was going to work. I would say, providing as much complete information as possible is a good thing. Not everyone "gets" it the first time in.
72h.
So long. Many hours. Very lol.
And they shoul've just used this one .. http://www.skykadia.com/raging_heroes/tgg/
